Ok here is a way to do it that is more expensive but is bulletproof and works every time. Using a tylaska attach it to the turnbuckle/chain plate with spectra and run the other end through the trigger area. I usually will splice the loop on the tylaska and then luggage tag the loop to the turnbuckle and tape in place. Then rig a piece of bungee through the bale and back to the turnbuckle or chain plate. The bungee keeps the shackle correctly oriented and the first pull on the halyard opens once the spectra loop gets tight. Note that the bungee should not limit the travel of the tylaska as you want the positive resistance when the halyard is pulled forward

Remember that it is all about the taper on the new laminate. You can't just cut off the broken piece and slide in a new internal piece. There is going to be a lot of work and time, you may want to talk to the guys at Forte as they may have a blank tube sitting around with the correct laminate structure.
